9.0 General Discussion

[Shadochi]

And fun to me is theme and appearance, I love demonology purely for all the portals you rip open to summon your Legion of Demons.

For me fun is not having to spam the same button in my raid rotation waiting for procs to happen or dots to refresh (when there is just one resource building spell you cast). Frost mages atm suffer from this a lot. But I also like the insane crit frost mages do when procs DO happen

[Brocksley]

Dark Ranger

Horde "The Blood Moon"
Forsaken
Blood Elf
Troll
Zandalari

Alliance "The Black Moon"
Human
Night Elf
Void Elf
Kul'tiran

Warden: Tank (Warglaive, Sword, Axe)
Wraith: Ranged DPS (Bow, Crossbow, Gun)
Banshee: Healer (Dagger, Wand, Sword)

This is exactly what I want.

Ercaro, El Caro.... why do I keep seeing Antonio Banderas before my inner eye when I read that. Walking away from an explosion with a guitar in his hand

So when the Frozen Throne explodes I fully expect to see El Caro walking away with a slight smirk now

Oh, he will be there...

He's everywhere.

[TheramoreIsTheBomb]

Void Elves are getting DKs (already confirmed), so there goes that theory.

oh well. just typical blizzard ignoring the lore just like undead DKs and Worgen DKs.

[Shadochi]

i don't see how is that different

wod >no new races cause working to improve the current ones
9.0 >no new class working to improve the current ones

if you bring allied races make more sense

bfa > no new races, instead, we get allied races "reskin" or subraces kinda of thing
9.0 > no new class, instead, we get class skins

The difference between class skins and AR is that AR also bring in mechanical changes, and not just visual. The equivalent would be if they added AR as customization options and not separate races with their own racials.

[Colonel Sandor]

I like the specs, but the races make no sense.

Trolls could be lore-flavored as Shadow Hunters.

Don't do this to me. I want this so much.

[Nagawithlegs]

I like the specs, but the races make no sense.

Everything on there makes sense but Kul'tiran. The trolls are Bwonsamdi themed Shadow Hunters.

EDIT: Should've been Worgen instead, but maybe it's a lore hiccup?

warden are not tanks, wrath have no logic conection with a ranged bow class, by the definition of the word, and banshee being healer is absurd


its more absurd a class named like that with those specs

and the races make no sense.

[Alanar]

Why wouldn't they? Just because they aren't in past lore doesn't mean they cant be in future lore

Yea.. no.
Kul tiran and zandalar dark rangers feel out of place..
Zandalar might get away with it cus of their trolls friends and their black voodoo backround, but for the rest?

Void elf dark ranger will just be a blood elf dark ranger cus no difference etc.. man what a mess already.

[Shadochi]

Drust/Thros themed maybe?

For Alliance I'd put Worgen instead of Kultirans due to their connection to the Black Moon Night Elves.

[TheramoreIsTheBomb]

Makes no sense so by blizz logic it's very hopeful to be true.

Might be Drust magic for KT.

[SpicedCarp]

oh well. just typical blizzard ignoring the lore just like undead DKs and Worgen DKs.

Neither of those are nearly as bad as Lightforged Draenei Death Knights, which were supposedly datamined.

What a hell of a trip.

[deviantcultist]

That's fair too!

[Nagawithlegs]

For Alliance I'd put Worgen instead of Kultirans due to their connection to the Black Moon Night Elves.

That's what I was thinking, but maybe Blizz remembered that Worgen can't be recent undead?

[Jailson Mendes]

not much difference, wod models didn't brough any mechanical changes, and they could always go for 4 spec

like i said, im just pointing on the possibilities i seen so far, i think its more likely than tinker and dark ranger

why? they are death, got ressurected.

I don't think the Lich King has the same restrictions Sylvanas has (or used to have, we don't even know if she's still restricted to what she could do in Cata)

[deviantcultist]

banshee being healer is absurd

Banshees are healers in:

- Legion Priest campaign where a Banshee is a Shadow-based healer who heals someone who CANNOT be healed by the Light

- In the Darkshore Warfront, the Banshee is a healer unit

- Undercity used to feature a Banshee Priest trainer who had quotes based on healing
